How much does it cost for a library card?

There is no cost to join the library. Library cards are available to residents of Kimberley and the Electoral 'E' area. To get a library card, please ask the library staff. Bring two pieces of identification showing name and current address, (i.e. driver's licence, piece of mail).

How many books can I take out at one time?

You are welcome to borrow up to a maximum of 20 books per library card. Books, spoken word and music tapes have a 3 week loan period. Magazines, videos, and music CD's have a 1 week loan period.

Loan limits apply as follows:

• Only 3 current magazines at one time
• Only 4 videos, music CD's and DVD's at one time
• Only 6 spoken word books at one time
• Only 6 new books at one time

Can I renew books over the phone?

Yes, renewals can be made over the phone or at the library. Books and spoken word cassettes may be renewed twice. No renewals are allowed on magazines, CD's or videos.

Will you put this poster on your bulletin board?

We only allow non-profit organizations to advertise on our bulletin board. All posters must first be approved by the Director.

Does the library have Internet access?

Yes, we do have Internet and word processing, which is a free service. Printing is an additional $0.25 per page.

The library does not have the book I'm looking for. Is there any way to get it?

Books which are not owned by the library may be ordered through the Inter-Library loanservice. To order a book as an inter-library loan, just fill out a request form available at the desk.

What happens if I don't bring my books back on time?

When books are not returned by the due date, the book(s) or other library materials are considered overdue, and late charges apply. Fines are $0.25/day for books and spoken word cassettes. Videos, CD's and DVD's are $0.50/day. Books can be returned through the 24 hour drop by the main doors. If you have lost the overdue item, you will have to pay the late fines and the replacement cost of the item.
